fumes, do not breathe close to the
fuel filler door, when opened.
• Never have any smoking materials
lit in or near the vehicle when the
fuel filler door is open or the tank is
being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is
running. This violates most
fire-prevention regulations and may
cause the Malfunction Indicator
Light
to turn on (see
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Fill the vehicle with fuel. Fuel tank
capacity
is indicated in the
“Refillings” table in section
“Features and Specifications”.
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or
shuts off, the fuel tank is basically
full: it is possible to further ensure
refueling by enabling the fuel nozzle
additional fuel supply until two
clicks. After the two additional clicks,
the amount of fuel allowed by the
system is very low, we recommend
therefore not to persist further.
• Wait approximately 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle in
order to ensure completed supply of residual fuel and restrict the risk of
fouling the fuel filler door area.
• Remove the fuel nozzle.
• Close the fuel filler door.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling,
do not “top off” the fuel tank after
filling.
Emergency Refueling Funnel
A
funnel is provided (in the trunk in
the tool box container) for emergency
refueling with a gas can. WARNING!
A fire may result if fuel is pumped
into a portable container that is inside
of a vehicle. You could be burned.
Always place gas containers outside
the vehicle while filling.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door
Release If you are unable to unlock the fuel
filler door using the key fob RKE
transmitter, use the fuel filler door
emergency release located in the
trunk.
• Open the trunk lid (see “Trunk Lid
Operation” in section “Before
Starting”).
• Lift the access cover on the left side
of the trunk.Driving

When the scheduled maintenance has
overdue, the indicator light
and
message will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
The service indicator and message will
illuminate approximately from 620 mi
(1000 km) or 30 days to the next
scheduled maintenance.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
The service indicator will not monitor
the time elapsed from the last
scheduled maintenance.
To check the km/mi and the days that
remain at the inspiration of the next
scheduled maintenance, consult the
“Maintenance” submenu of “VEHICLE
INFO” main menu (see paragraph ”TFT
Dispaly : Warning/Indicator Lights of
the Set Modes/ Functions” in chapter “Instrument Cluster” of section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for more details).
An Authorized Maserati Dealer will
reset the service indicator message
after completing the scheduled
maintenance operations.
Scheduled Service Plan The Scheduled Maintenance services
listed in this manual must be done at
the times or mileages specified to
protect your vehicle warranty and
ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles in operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and
very short trip driving.
Inspection and service should also be
done anytime a malfunction is
suspected.
Maserati recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed
at an Authorized Maserati Dealer . The
technicians at your dealership know
your vehicle best, and have access to
factory-approved information,
genuine Maserati parts, and specially
designed electronic and mechanical
tools that can help prevent future
costly repairs.Maintenance and Care

Heavy-Duty Vehicle Use If the car is mainly used under one of
the following conditions:
• off-road;
• short, repeated journeys (less than
4–5 mi/7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
• engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of idleness;
you should perform the following
inspections more frequently than
recommended on the “Scheduled
Service Plan”:
• check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
• check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
• visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
• check battery charge;
• visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
• check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter; • check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter of the A/C system;
• check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner filter.
CAUTION!
All maintenance operations for the
vehicle must be carried out by an
Authorized Maserati Dealer . For
routine and minor maintenance
operations which you can carry out
yourself, make sure that you have the
necessary experience and always use
suitable equipment, original Maserati
spare parts and the prescribed fluids.
Shall this not be the case, do not carry
any operation on your own and
contact an Authorized Maserati
Dealer .
On Board Diagnostic System Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated on board diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions suited to
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light
on the
instrument cluster display (refer to
“Instrument Cluster” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”). The system stores as well
diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician by performing repairs.
Although the vehicle will be driveable
and will not need towing, contact an
Authorized Maserati Dealer for service
as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL
on could cause further damage to
the emissions control system. It could
also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
• If the MIL
is flashing while the
engine is running, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service at
an Authorized Maserati Dealer is
required.Maintenance and Care

To Reconnect the Battery NOTE:
When the battery cables have been
disconnected and the trunk lid has
been locked, it is necessary to pull the
emergency release lever in order to
re-open it. To access the trunk and
operate the emergency release fold
one of the rear seatbacks (see “Cargo
Area” chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”).
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the
cables on the battery that the
positive cable is attached to the
positive post (+) and the negative
cable is attached to the negative
post (–).
• Cable clamps should be tight on the
terminal posts and free of corrosion.
After the battery has been
disconnected
and re-connected and
before starting the engine it is
necessary to proceed as follows:
• Unlock and lock the doors using the
Key fob RKE Transmitter.
• Close manually the boot lid, unlock it
with the key fob RKE transmitter and
then lock it manually one more time. If the vehicle is equipped with Power
Boot Lid/Hand Free, manually
perform the complete closure. Then
move the lid automatically, using the
buttons on the lid itself, performing
a complete cycle of opening and
closing.
• Initialize the climate control system
by activating the system and pressing
the “AUTO” control as described in
chapter “Air Conditioning Controls”
in section “Dashboard Instruments
and Controls”.
• Turn on the MTC+ and set the date
and time (see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
• Lift, release and lift again the lever
on the central console to initialize
the electric parking brake. Following
this operation the
warning light
on the instrument cluster will turn
off.
• For correct activation of the
approach lights on the external
mirrors, press at least once the tilt
button on the driver's door panel so
that the door mode recognizes the
mirrors position. CAUTION!
• Every time the battery is
reconnected, wait at least 30 seconds
with the ignition switch turned to
RUN before starting the engine, in
order to allow the electronic system
that manages the motor-driven
throttles to run a self-learning cycle.
At the same time, you can run the
date and time set up procedure for
the MTC+.
• Every time the battery is reconnected
the warning light
flash for about
10 seconds and then go off.
